WOW!

Friday, I was in New York and Monday in a fairy tale. Thank you for welcoming us in your magical space.

Idyllic Location

I recently stayed at the property with 5 friends for a Mom/Daughter trip and the property exceeded our expectations. I have rented properties in Provence for the last 5 years and Mas des Cigales is on the short list. It is probably the best equipped house I have stayed at- especially for families. the location to A7 and the quaint town of Cabannes is wonderful. Even though you are in town the property feels like a secluded country estate. Kitchen was great and exceptionally equipped as we like to cook. Breakfast Bar made our mornings... Can't say enough!

Une magnifique maison A magnificent house

Nous sommes restés trop peu de temps dans cette très belle maison. Les prestations sont à la hauteur du prix de la location. Vaisselle impeccable, belle literie, l'air conditionné fonctionne bien, piscine bien entretenue. Le propriétaire qui est sur place est toujours disponible. il nous a donné de super adresses pour faire nos courses et visites de la région. Une très bonne adresse et on espère y revenir !!! Si vous séjournez dans cette villa allez voir le village de Seguret...

We stayed too little time in this very beautiful house. The services are up to the rental price. Impeccable crockery, beautiful bedding, air conditioning works well, well maintained pool. The owner who is on site is always available. he gave us great addresses for our shopping and visits to the region. A very good address and we hope to come back! If you stay in this villa go see the village of Seguret ...

Lovely house near a beautiful village

I stayed at the property with my family in May 2019. The communication with Provence Holidays was excellent during the booking process and we were provided with lots of information about the house and local facilities/restaurants/sites of interest. The house is lovely. Fantastic outdoor area, beautiful pool in lovely landscaped environment. There is a sense of quiet and isolation at the house even though it is very close to the village - a perfect combination. There is an excellent supermarket less than 5 minutes drive away where we picked up all our barbeque provisions regularly. The bedrooms are large and the facilities are excellent. Table tennis and table football were great alternative distractions for the children when they weren't in the pool. Lourmarin is one of the prettiest villages I have been to in France with a good range of restaurants from family friendly to high end. Excellent market there on Fridays (and lots of other markets in local villages on alternative days)...... I'd highly recommend this property.

Fantastic house in superb location!

We had the most wonderful week at Mas Blauvac - a really lovely, well equipped, comfortable home with glorious views. Thanks to the owner's superbly comprehensive notes about all we could see and do in the area, we covered a good amount of ground and visited markets, some beautiful villages, saw amazing scenery and managed a game of tennis on the local courts. Shame we ran out of time to go cycling as this is the area in which to do it! Most afternoons were spent by or in the lovely pool relaxing - impressed by the superior poolside furniture which sometimes lets a property down! All in all, a five star holiday home in a five star location!

Simply wonderful

Even after pouring over the gushing reviews, beautiful photographs, and five-star ratings, my family of 13 and I were simply awestruck by Mas des Cigales. Everything — the lovely approach and lush grounds; clean, spare, whitewashed rooms; modern, streamlined bathrooms; ample crisp linens; numerous indoor and outdoor gathering spaces; well-stocked kitchen; friendly hens; sparkling pool; shady cabana; and talented local chef — just everything about this magical place exceeded our very high expectations! To add to this perfection, we were within easy reach of Avignon, Saint Rémy, and Aix-en-Provence.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at Mas des Cedres.

Over the years, we have rented some beautiful houses in Europe -- including one previously in Provence -- and this is by far the one we enjoyed most. It is a lovely home that is full of charm and surrounded by an oasis of beautiful plants and flowers, olive trees, mountain views, and serenading birds. There are so many options for places to sit and relax that it was sometimes difficult to choose! We especially loved the fully stocked kitchen (up to date appliances and most cooking gadgets you can think of -- even a mortar and pestle which I am fond of using). We used it regularly to whip up dishes using the fabulous local produce from the markets. A few other of the many high points of our stay: **Although the house is designed to look like it has been in Eygalieres forever (and indeed that is part of its charm), each room has every modern comfort and convenience (including the shower heads and perfect water pressure in the bathrooms!). **The situation of the house outside of town and its layout creates an atmosphere of absolute peace and quiet. It allowed my husband to work without interruption on the book he is currently writing. **The property managers were incredibly responsive and helpful. **The small town of Eygalieres was a delight with its Friday market, several good restaurants, as well as an excellent fromagerie, boucherie, and grocery store (we look forward to the re-opening of the boulangerie, which was under construction during our stay). Like others who before us have reviewed Mas de la Plume, we are reluctant to gush too much more, as we don't want to lose our spot for next year!

A Great Venue

he venue lived up to and exceeded our best expectations.We were cycling Mont Ventoux and would certainly recommend the Mas de Beaumes to any cycling groups.

The property was fantastic and ticked all the boxes.

More than met our expectation. Lovely location. Highly reccomended Thank you Simon

Calme, nature et confort en toute simplicité pour des vacances reposantes et réussies. On s'y sent bien comme chez soi avec le soleil et la magnifique piscine en plus !

Calm, nature and comfort in all simplicity for a relaxing and successful holiday. It feels like home with the sun and the magnificent swimming pool!

House perfectly equipped and impeccable on our arrival, the welcome from Eric the owner was very friendly, his explanations clear and precise. We recommend this place

Très belle maison Déco très sympa Cadre magnifique

Very nice house Very nice decor Magnificent setting

Une très belle maison pleine de charme doté d'un très beau jardin en lisère du canal (petit) des Alpilles parfait pour les sportifs ! Calme absolu à proximité d'Eyragues (10:min à pied) et de ses fêtes votives en août , Point de départ également idéal pour les Baux bien entendu, proche de St Rémy et à une heure des Saintes Marie pour une escapade en bord de mer. Le jardin, la terrasse et la piscine sont une invitation au farniente , bonnes vacances !!!!! PS la piscine étant assez loin de la terrasse, cela permet de gérer assez facilement un enfant en bas age (minie miss de 16mois)

A very beautiful house full of charm with a beautiful garden on the edge of the (small) channel of the Alpilles, perfect for athletes! Absolute calm near Eyragues (10: min walk) and its votive festivals in August, also ideal starting point for Les Baux of course, close to St Rémy and one hour from Saintes Marie for a getaway by the sea. The garden, the terrace and the swimming pool are an invitation to idleness, good holidays !!!!! PS the swimming pool being far enough from the terrace, it allows to manage quite easily a small child (mini miss of 16 months)

Superbe villa - recommandée sans hésitation Superb villa - recommended without hesitation

Everything was perfect - from the location, to the reception, to the facilities and the layout of the premises. we sincerely recommend this magnificent villa for a pleasant holiday in Provence

Belle maison pleine de charme et au calme sans être trop loin des commerces.

Beautiful house full of charm and quiet without being too far from shops.

Un endroit charmant et ultra calme, où nous retournerons avec grand plaisir. Des propriétaires très discrets mais efficaces. L'endroit est encore plus beau en vrai!

A charming and ultra quiet place, where we will return with great pleasure. Very discreet but efficient owners. The place is even more beautiful in real life!

Perfect Family Holiday

My husband and I and our two children stayed here with our good friends and their son. It was the perfect family holiday! The house is absolutely stunning, with every convenience you could hope for, and is beautifully decorated. The garden is without a doubt a highlight and a true sanctuary. We spent our days in and out of the pool, pottering the local village and relaxing in the house. The perfect family break! Simon is a wonderful host and easily contactable if you need. Highly recommended!

Elise & Gérard sont des hôtes passionnés, généreux aux grandes qualités humaines. Présents mais discrets à la fois, nous avons manqué de rien. Nous allons revenir car nous nous sommes sentis déconnectés et en adéquation parfaite avec ce lieu magique. Delphine & Pierre

Elise & Gérard are passionate, generous hosts with great human qualities. Present but discreet at the same time, we wanted for nothing. We will come back because we felt disconnected and in perfect harmony with this magical place. Delphine & Pierre

Beautiful heritage property with all the comforts.

Our group of six couples enjoyed a wonderful week at this property. We were delighted with the selection of well furnished rooms and amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed preparing meals together in the well equipped kitchen; gathering on the several patios; dining in the spacious dining room; lounging in the comfortable sitting rooms throughout the house; as well as exploring the beautiful countryside, Gordes and surrounding areas.

We absolutely loved our stay.

We originally booked an eight night stay in late August at Jaqueline's villa in Lourmarin for ourselves and three adult children. As good as the property and the environs looked and was described on the website, it was better in reality. The large house is well-appointed and, though the kitchen is small, it is well equipped to transform the fresh ingredients available at the many local farmer's markets into wonderful meals. What we expected to be a vacation filled with restaurant dining was unexpectedly filled with home cooking using the outdoor grill and leading to patio dining well into the night fueled by inexpensive, but satisfying, local wines. Lourmarin itself, a 15 minute walk from the villa, is attractive, not very touristy and boasting of restaurants worth visiting more than once. Nearby towns, accessible only by car, are fun to visit and you are likely to find a farmer's market at one or another of these on most days of the week. The highlight of our stay was enjoying the beautifully maintained pool. We found ourselves curtailing our sightseeing in order to get back to swim (and play). Before our visit we were concerned that what is characterized online as "air conditioning" actually refers to ceiling fans. However, as Jacqueline assured us, the stone floors and shutters to keep the sun out during the day effectively kept the house comfortable. Once settled we extended our stay one night. Jaqueline was very attentive and helpful both before and during our stay. We all agreed that our visit to Lourmarin was the best vacation we've ever had. We hope to return.
